Sowing an AiISDice Grove.

The planters Of Jamaica long ago
found out that the birds can make much
better pimento or ailspice groves than
can be made by man. As a consequence
the work of planting, or more properly
Of sowing, is left entirely to the birds,
mans share of the labor being confined
simply to chopping over the piece OF
woodland which it is proposed to con-
vert into a spice grove.
After the first rains following the
clearing a number Of young pimcnto
plants make their appearance. The
birds, fitting about among the fallen
timber all through the fruit season. drop
the seeds everywhere, under conditions
which ensure their immediate fcrtiliza-
ton, and the partial shade afforded by
the fallen timber is Just what is re-
quired to foster the young plants
growth. BY the time the timber is rot
ten the planter has his pimcnto grove
we'll developed, and requiring only to
be thnned out to render it source of
profit for many years. Audubon Mag

The Wealth Of Ancient Mexico.

Though gold in the ore is rich and
plent4ll Il in the Mexican country, the in
habitants could not have been aware of
any better method of obtaining it than
by sitting it from river sands Notwith-
standing his numerous observations of
marvelously wrought gold objects in
Mexico. Bcrnal Diazs own words should
establish this fact. Montczuma, he says,
informed them that their gold was OBJ
tanned from the province of Zacatula
where the earth which contained it Wa
washed in wooden vessels and the gold
dust sank to the bottom." 1t was also
to,be had, he says, in Tustcpcc, ''whcrc
it was collected from the beds of
rivers" Again, speaking Of the cxpc-
ditions sent out by Cortcs in search of
mines, he says that ConzaIo de Umbria,
who went to ZacatuIa, reported that
there 1.-THE natives washed gold out of
the sand in small troughs."
If this were the only means employed,
it is improbable that the Spaniards saw
it in all the instances and in the great
quantity that Cortcz and Bcrnal Diaz
describe; and that their statements in
this regard are grossly exaggerated is
evident from the fact that, with the cX-
cepti0n of a few small. trinlcts, not a
relic of the beautiful things of which
they speak remains. Neither do the

Skilled Farm Laborers.

No idea has done more to rcprcss
farming progress than the idea that
farm labOrer need not be skilled, that
brute strength is the main requisite. This
never was true, and is less so now than
ever before since improved machinery
has to be handled But even IN handling
such old-fashioned implements as the
axe and the hoe efficiency depends as much
upon skill as upon muscle. 1t is by no
means the largest or strongest hired man
who will do most work in a day. And
when help is hired that is entirely I'M
used to our methods Of farming, its ln-
experience greatly dctracts from its
value The truth is that farming
is a trade, that has to be learned If
the workers at it would be effective.
1t requires knowledge and Skill
in a far larger number of things than
most other kinds of business. In fact, it
is never fully learned. The oldest and
most successful farmer is generally the
most ready 10 learn something Hc"
about his business, and it is usually this
habit which he has kept up through his
life that has given him his success. That
farmer shows only his limited idea of his
business who thinks that he knows sc
much about it that he cannot learn any
thing more. And though skill in farm
help is desirable, it is sometimes better
in rough work to have green hanc
willing to do as he is told, and to learn
than one sclf-conccited with the ide;
that he knows everything already
Much depends upon employers. Some
are themselves so conccitcd that few
hired men are willing to try to learl
from them CuItivatOr.

Horizontal Training of Cranes.

A correspondent of the New York
Tribune says: Each added years expert
encc cOnvinccs us further of the superb
ority of horizontal training for vines;
and we are gradually substituting flat
trclliscs for erect ones, and prefer them
of good hcight-scvcn feet or over. The
thrip has become pest here, and as the
flies shelter on the under side of leaves
We can reddily drcnch them to death by
using Il syringe or force pump. Water
alone is Scrviceablc, but the addition of
some kerosene emulsion makes it very
effective. The grapes hanging free under
the screen of foliage attain full perfec-
ton, and are more readily baggcd. if
their best quality and preservation are
especially desired, or if left unbagocd
they are less liable to injury by
birds than on an erect trcllis
The canes should be we'll separated and
tied down close to the rods. which
should be far enough apart to allow of
head and shoulders rising through for
convenience of pruning, etc, if the
bower be wide. But for a single long
row of vineyard vines a trellis need not
be over three feet wide. One of the
most useful positions for such a bower is
an awning or screen for lower windows
and back doors, to shade the lower story
OF a house on the sunny side Tbnro ic
always abundant fertility and moisture
for the vines to gather up, and they
ripen more perfectly under the reflection
of heat from the walls; and, as their
leaves are continually inhaling moisture
copiously under wide luxuriant grape
arbor, even on the hottest days. 1t can
be made quite a handsome extension of

FOR FARM AND GARDEN.
Protecting Potatoes from Bugs.

The only secret in growing potatoes IS
in having all work 50 we'll in hand that
undivided attention may be given tins
crop when needed, In hot, dry weather
swarms of potato bugs cover the vines
suddenly and will do great damage Il
unchecked. None may be found one
day and vet by noon of the next many
hills may be badly eaten. When first
Matched the larvae are very small and not
likely to be noticed, but the hotter the
weather the more ravenously they cat
and the faster they grow. 1t is one OF
the advantages in applying Paris green
with plaster that the latter attracts
moisture and thus holds the dew on the
vine longer, thus indirectly unchecklng
the bugs, although it is the poison that
destroys them. If we could always have
moist, cool weather, such as usually pre-
walls IN summer in England and Ireland,
it would be no greater trouble to keep
potato bugs in subsection. 1t is our hot
American summers that make this enemy
so destructive.

W Gaming Calves,

The first milk, in its gradually chang
ing conditions, is the most necessary
food the young creature can have, and
in its change during the first three or
four days, it brings the digestive organs
of the calf to condition where it will
be able to take stronger food. At the
end of three or four days the calf can be
taught to drink, but should not then be
fed with cold or skim milk. When it is
decided that it shall no longer suck, let
1t be patiently taught to drink, unless a
feeder is used, which is far preferable to
allowing the rapid drinking of the milk.
Back the calf into a corner. and insert
ing finger in its mouth, bend its neck
and put its nose into a pail in which are
but about two quarts of milk. Hold the
pail firmly between the knees, that the
struggles and bunting may not upset it.
After the calf has sucked the fingers a
moment, spread them, and a little
milk will be taken between them
into the mouth. 1t will soon
take the hint, and after a few lessons
drink without the fingers which have
been removed by degrees. 1t is best to
let the calf get little hungry before at
tempting the first lesson. One objection
to feeding a calf is, that it will drink
its ration so rapidly that there is no op-
portunity for mixing with it the saliva,
and imperfect digestion follows. A calf
/ feeder Chere is no better than Smalls)
compels the calf to slowly sGc!, as Iuoa.

BUTTON FACTORIES.
What May be Seen in a Visit to
One of Them in Brooklyn.
The Various Processes of Max
ing Buttons Described.

A single button is an insignificant
thing and in money value doesn't
amount to much. hut when it is stated
that in the five establishments devoted
to button making in this city there is
total of $3.50. 600 invested, it is safe to
say that the business is considerable.
Walking through Tiffany place in the
Sixth Ward my attention was attracted
to one of these factories. l had never
seen button made and, in fact, this
was the nearest had ever been to
place Of the kind and for thcpurposc of
improving the opportunity commenced
climbing two flights Of stairs that arc as
steep as those leading to Miss Libcrty's
lofty perch on BcdIoc's Island; but once
inside the factory the climbing Of the
steps was forgotten, as the picture be
fore me was full Of interest. There
were about twenty girls at work making
or painting buttons. The power, drop
and foot presses were in constant mo
ton In making m ctal buttons the sheet
is first taken and put through the power
press which turns out more shells in q
minute than would fill bushcl basket.
These almost shapeless bits Of brass or
whatever the material may
be are then carried over to the drop,
which falls on them with a heavy
thud, and the tiny things of future
use come out of it with a rim formed
around the shell. The eye maker is then
put in use, and next machine IS called
upon to perform its duty and the button
is finished except in color, which looks
dull yellow, but this is remeGied and the
metal buttons show their brightness by
being put through 4 burning process in
acid jars which resemble ice cream
freczers. Then they are cooled off in
running water and taken to the stamp
press, which turns quickly, and out they
come with the name of the maker
stamped in the shell part. There are
made in these establishments a thousand
different varieties Of metal buttons
mostly for womcn's wear. Some are
handsome to look at and others are not,
but all go through the same process of
manufacturing. The fancy buttons are
taken to the painters, whose nimble
fingers are continually busy while put
ting on the finishing touches. In max
ing cloth buttons a man has ten layers
of material before him from out of which,
by hand work, he punches the same
number Of what are called toughs at one
time and the whole operation works like
flash of lightning, 50 quick is the opcr-
alton performed. The toughs are then
taken alongside the shells,
where one of the work
women attempted to show me how cloth
button was made and finished, but whiIc
listening to the explanation of the work
by the young lady, the button was ready
to 60 on the card and be shipped fol
Europe or anywhere else She merely
placed the cloth or tough in the clo,in.
machine and the eye in the tube, after
which the two were connected and a deli
cate movement of the foot did the rest
as the shell, eye and tough were united
and the cloth button was completed
